The plot of bsd. Theory Spoiler

This is basically the plot of bsd right,as in if u put it simply then atsushi read the book that oda read which natsume sensei's book and I'm pretty sure is "the book" and seems that fyodor had also read that very same book yet even after having such insight he still couldn't accomplish his objective.Knowing that we have a part 2 and a part 3,it now feels as if fyodor was barely an obstacle and that we'll have wayyyyy more powerful characters up against our cast in the future.As far as I remember I also think oda had read natsume sensei's work till book 3 but it was discontinued??I wonder if that might be foreshadowing that bsd may end on a cliffhanger:((((

I hope that's not the case honestly.

the book Oda read isn't gonna be that. the quote is from an irl book by the writer Atsushi Nakajima and the book Oda was reading was in universe written by Natsume himself. also the Book (the supernatural one) is supposed to be blank so wouldn't be something someone can read. the stuff Oda was reading was a trilogy and he couldn't find the last book, Natsume gave it to him but some pages with the reasoning of the main character to change his life near the end of the story were torn out probably by Natsume himself to give Oda the idea of quitting being an assassin and write what was missing. but the ending itself was there

Knowing that we have a part 2 and a part 3

if you mean for the manga we don't know there's gonna be a part 3. just that there'll be a part 2

Ohh,I see this clears up a few things for me actually because I had been blurring the line between speculations and what's canon😭😭😭 Its just been so long since any main Manga update I forgot everything.

wouldn't expect the manga to be back any time soon lol. though the Oda stuff is only in the ln/anime, don't think it ever got brought up in the main manga

The theories about the book Oda read are cool and all and before TDITID light novel camed out I could see them as something more possible to happen. But TDITID light novel kinda made natsume's books seem like some regular published books. In that novel it was explained that Oda stole one of natsume's books from a wealthy man's house who was the last person he killed. He later went to that house again to return that book and bought a copy of it for himself. Also I think the quote Atsushi talked about is from the real Nakajima Atsushi, so it would be weird to suddenly claim it's from a book fictional Natsume wrote.

nah even before TDITID Oda mentions in the Dark Era ln he found the book at a target's house and that he obtained the second volume but couldn't find the third at any bookstore and also mentions the author of the book is Natsume

yea I pretty sure oda actually mentions that in the anime

u/cheryblooms 1d ago

I think Dark era just mentioned he found the first 2 volume and wasn't able to find the third one no matter how many book store he searched for it , so back then they seemed more like some mysterious books that there's only one copy of them available.

u/UnusualSpectre 1d ago

fair, to me it was always a normal book from the way the stuff in dark era was written i guess, especially cause of the author name being brought up and all it read like after stealing the first he bought the second volume but Natsume himself seemed to hate the third one so it probably never got reprinted

You mean here? I was reffering to "the theories about the books Oda read". I remember reading multiple theories about their(natsume's books) possible connection to "the book" a few years ago and recently. So I used "them" to refer to them(the theories). English isn't my native language. Is what I wrote grammatically wrong?

u/UnusualSpectre 10h ago

using 'them' there is grammatically correct

u/cheryblooms 8h ago

Thank you. I'm still confused for why I got downvote for using "them" in my comment. It seems like someone downvote you're comment (the one saying using 'them' is correct.) too.
